Openfoam для windows 7

At CFD Support we understand the challenges of modern companies workflow. Our long term goal is building bridges between top-class development and real practice. In the past we have received many requirements on providing and supporting OpenFOAM® software under Microsoft Windows. As a result, we have delivered to the market OpenFOAM® for Windows.

OpenFOAM® for Windows goes well together with CFD Support’s other products and services: Turbomachinery CFD created to enable a quick and efficient design optimization of turbomachinery components. Turbo Blade Post created to enable an efficient visual postprocessing of turbomachinery.

We also recommend our OpenFOAM® Training which may help you to upgrade your OpenFOAM® skills to proper level.

Install OpenFOAM® for Windows

When running OpenFOAM® in Windows we recommend to use Cygwin software to keep the workflow consistent with Linux as much as possible. There are many other ways of using OpenFOAM® for Windows, depending on your previous experiences, preferred applications and other circumstances. This page describes just one of those ways.

After downloaded OpenFOAM® for Windows installation file, simply run it. We recommend to follow the installation default options.

Example 1 : first case run

1. run OpenFOAM for Windows

2.  $  mc  

   mc command runs midnight commander, which is truly powerful tool when working in terminal, note you can always switch by ctrl+o to command line to run commands and again ctrl+o back to manage files

3.  $  run  

   run alias jumps to your working directory

4.  $  cp -r $FOAM_TUTORIALS/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity/cavity ./

   copy the cavity tutorial case here

5.  $  cd cavity

   change directory to cavity

6.  $  blockMesh.exe

   create the computational mesh

7.  $  icoFoam.exe

   run the solver

8.  $  paraFoam

   view results in ParaView

Example 2 : run OpenFOAM for Windows in parallel

1. run OpenFOAM for Windows

2.  $  mc  

3.  $  run 

4.  $  cp -r $FOAM_TUTORIALS/incompressible/simpleFoam/pitzDaily ./

5.  $  cd pitzDaily

6.  $  cp -r $FOAM_TUTORIALS/incompressible/simpleFoam/motorBike/system/decomposeParDict ./system/

7.  $  blockMesh.exe

8.  $  decomposePar.exe

9.  $  mpiexec -n 6 simpleFoam -parallel

10.  $  reconstructPar.exe

11.  $  paraFoam

Example 3 : create new solver (compilation)

1. run OpenFOAM for Windows

2.  $  mc  

3.  $  run

4.  $  mkdir myFirstWindowsOpenFOAMSolver

5.  $  cd myFirstWindowsOpenFOAMSolver

6.  $  cp -r $FOAM_SOLVERS/incompressible/icoFoam/* ./

7.  $  sed -i "s/\/icoFoam/\/myFirstWindowsOpenFOAMSolver/g" Make/files

8.  $  wmake

9.  $  run

10.  $  cp -r $FOAM_TUTORIALS/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity/cavity ./

11.  $  cd cavity/

12.  $  blockMesh.exe

13.  $  myFirstWindowsOpenFOAMSolver.exe

14.  $  paraFoam

Example 4 : motorBike

1. run OpenFOAM for Windows

2.  $  mc  

3.  $  run

4.  $  cp -r $FOAM_TUTORIALS/incompressible/simpleFoam/motorBike ./

5.  $  cd motorBike

6.  $  find ./ -type f | xargs sed -i "s/WM_PROJECT_DIR/OPENFOAM_INSTALL_PATH/g"

7.  $  ./Allrun

8.  $  paraFoam

6 Miscellaneous information

6.1 Differences between mingw32 and mingw-w32 versions

MinGW is the true name of mingw32. As for mingw-w32 (32bit version of mingw-w64), as cited from here (dead link):

Mingw-w64 began as a spin-off from the mingw.org project, with the original intent of building for 64-bit targets.

Nonetheless, mingw-w64 has retro-compatibility with the 32bit MinGW version, thus enabling a 2-in-1 build package for 32 and 64bit Windows systems.

The main difference between mingw32 and mingw-w32, is that MinGW is a stable and proven build tool and run-time for Windows, while the mingw-w64 project is still under fierce development and only in October 29th of 2010 they released their first stable version. Therefore, it is only estimated that the mingw32 version could provide less headaches than mingw-w32.

7 How to add new pages

Check the source code of one or more of the children pages listed in the Introduction to get a better idea of the structure, but the common structure is as follows:

1. All children pages must start with Installation/Windows
2. Next indicate the kind of instructions and the OpenFOAM version/variant/fork it refers to and so on. Some examples:
   • Cross-Compiling OpenFOAM 2.1.1 on Linux for Windows using MinGW
   • Compiling OpenFOAM 2.2.x on Windows using MinGW
   • Compiling OpenFOAM x.y.z on Windows using MSVC
3. And in those pages, must refer have at the bottom of the page this code:
